"Xie Mowen, don't try to drag me into this for your own selfish reasons."
"What good will it do you if my reputation is ruined?"
Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Xie are indeed good brothers, but isn't it obvious who Grandpa Qin would choose between his good brother's granddaughter and his own grandson?
She, Xie Linglong, didn't save the old man's life, so why should he force his grandson to marry someone he doesn't like?
"Linglong, don't act impulsively." Xie Mowen seemed oblivious to Xie Linglong's anger and calmly advised her.
"There are only benefits and no drawbacks to your marriage with Qin Feng, so there's no need for you to be so resistant."
Xie Mowen wanted to continue persuading his cousin, but a hand landed on his shoulder. "Have you forgotten where you are?"
"Have you forgotten who I am? You forced Linglong to pursue someone who doesn't like her, right in front of me?"
"Xie Mowen, have you forgotten about the Zhang family?"
Zhang Jingran stared blankly at Xie Mowen. Did her sister's nephew not respect her?
Although the Zhang family is a family with a long tradition of medicine, it doesn't mean they lack the ability to contend with the Xie family.
How could this younger member of the Xie family simply ignore her existence and force her niece to pursue someone who is universally known to be unattainable? What was he thinking?
"Aunt Zhang...so you're here?" Xie Mowen smiled awkwardly when she saw Zhang Jingran's expressionless face.
He was so excited that he forgot what Baozhong Hall was, or rather, he didn't expect Zhang Jingran to be here.
After all, Zhang Jingran sometimes sees patients at the city hospital, but most of the time she is at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
She would only spend one or two days a week, or even just one day, at Baozhongtang.
He really didn't expect that Zhang Jingran would be at Baozhongtang today.
"If I weren't here, would you say even more hurtful things?" Zhang Jingran pushed Xie Mowen away, making him stay away from Xie Linglong.
"Linglong's marriage should be her parents' concern. What business is it of yours, her cousin?"
"You're not even Linglong's biological brother, so why do you care who she marries?"
Despite his extreme anger, Zhang Jingran remained remarkably calm, reprimanding Xie Mowen with a detached expression and a composed tone.
Chen Suwen walked over to Qin Feng and nudged him, "Are you and this little girl really betrothed since childhood?"
Qin Feng shook his head, "The verbal agreement between the two families should have been made by my father's generation."
However, since their family was in Beijing and the Xie family was in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, and their parents' generation did not find a suitable match, the "marriage agreement" was not fulfilled.
In his generation, no one was interested in him.
"If there really is such a thing as an arranged marriage, do you think it's possible for a 29-year-old man like me to be engaged to an 18-year-old girl?"
"I was almost graduating from elementary school when she was born."
“When she was in elementary school, I had already joined the army.”
So how are they a good match?
The most important point is that neither he nor Xie Linglong were interested in each other.
"Even if I really have to fulfill the marriage agreement, it's not like I don't have a younger brother."
Take his cousin Qin Rui, for example, who is four years younger than him and is still single.
Besides Qin Rui, Qin Feng also has a younger brother and other cousins; he has a total of eight younger brothers.
He has a younger brother and a cousin, who are the same age as Xie Linglong, at eighteen and nineteen years old.
Why didn't they think of having them fulfill the marriage agreement between the two families, instead of having him, who is so much older than Xie Linglong, fulfill it?
how?
Is it not just his status as a son of the Qin family that they value, but also his status as the eldest grandson of the Qin family?
Do you think that as the eldest grandson of the first branch, he is the rightful heir of the Qin family?
Listening to Qin Feng's words, Chen Suwen also felt that Xie Mowen's words were somewhat biased and became quite impatient.
Yes, the Qin family doesn't only have Qin Feng as a son.
The Xie family doesn't only have Xie Linglong as a daughter.
Why is it that when others don't have to fulfill their marriage vows, Qin Feng and Xie Linglong are forced to do so?
And it could also help to ease the situation and allow the Xie family's son to marry the Qin family's daughter.
The Qin family isn't without daughters, and the Xie family isn't without sons.
